I know that I have discussed this and received tons of input from this forum on this subject. There are also several discussions going on about this, but I don't want to hijack those threads.

I just have one thing that I can't wrap my brain around.

1. Stress depresses the immune system.

2. MG is a disease caused by an incorrect immune response. It responds to and is improved by immunosuppressants.

3. Then how exactly does stress make MG symptoms worse? My logic tells me it should make it better. Think how much more fun it would be to be able to abuse our bodies with "stressful" things (maybe drugs, alcohol, all night parties, etc) all to get a cure.

So what is the physiology behind stress making MG worse?
